As we all know, Mac OS X has support for what is called 'fat binaries'. These are binaries that can carry code for for instance multiple architectures - in the case of the Mac, PowerPC and x86. Ryan Gordon was working on an implementation of fat binaries for Linux - but due to the conduct of the Linux maintainers, Gordon has halted the effort.

Unfortunately a lower score makes your post "invisible". Well not completely, but you (the reader) needs to take an extra step to see a modded-down post. I've modded up posts that people have modded down simply because (to me) it appeared they were doing so out of some sort of bias.
